Seminar in Bioinformatics (236818) Ron Y. Pinter Fall 2018/19
Why? • Really … Advanced Algorithmsin Computational Systems Biology II • Can’t fit everything in one term(236522) • Not just sequence alignment, HMMs,and Bayesian networks • Ever evolving and changing needs and ideas • Still, trying to focus on some specific area
What? • Pathway and Network modeling and Analysis (Ron Pinter) • Genome Rearrangements (Ron Pinter) • Protein and RNA Structure Prediction • Expression analysis (ZoharYakhini) • Linkage analysis (Dan Geiger) • Phylogenetic analysis (Shlomo Moran) • Network dynamics (Flux Balance Analysis) (Tomer Shlomi) • Computational metagenomics (last term!!!)
Biological Networks • Networks are a powerful tool for describing and analyzing relations among entities • Used extensively in Computer Science, Operations Research, Electrical engineering, Physics, Sociology, Behavior, Economics, Neuroscience etc. • We use them to model and analyze the complexities of small and large biological systems
Some Biological Networks protein-protein interactions Transcription regulation
Pathways • Focus on a particular function • The “blue print” of cellular processes • Smaller scale than networks, but they contain a lot of detailed information
Some Pathways a signaling pathway a mixed pathway
Interesting Static Properties • Structural (topological) properties (clustering coefficient, betweenness, centrality, degree distribution) allow us to examine similarity and perform classification • Layered networks • Comprise (small) basic building blocks • what are they (motifs)? • how do they compose? • InferredFunctional properties
Quantitative kinetics concentrations expression levels … Qualitative convergence oscillation transient expression fail-safety (sensitivity): robustness stability Interesting Dynamic Properties
Modeling and Analysis Methods • Labeled graphs • Networks – transition systems: Boolean, discrete, continuous • [Hybrid Functional] Petri Nets (HFPN) • ODEs/PDEs • Various calculi and process algebras • Flux Balance Analysis (FBA)
When to Use What? • For static analysis • graph algorithms • algebraic methods • statistical tests • For dynamic analysis • detailed behavior – ODEs • qualitative behavior – transition systems • some specific properties – various calculi
A Few Examples • Static • Integrative Analyses of Interaction Networks Underlying the Cellular Circuitry in Yeast (Yeger-Lotem et al.,PNAS 2004) • [Seeded] Alignment of Metabolic Pathways (Pinter et al.,Bioinformatics, 2005; Lozano et al., WABI 2007) • Elucidating Protein Function using Graphlet Degree Vectors in Prtoein-Protein Interactions Networks (Gordon et al., under review). • Dynamic • HFPN-based Simulation of the Reduced Folates Metabolic Pathway (Assaraf et al.,JTB 2006) • Faithful Modeling of Transient Behavior in Developmental Pathways (Rubinstein et al.,PNAS 2007) • Both • Flux Based vs. Topology Based Similarity of Metabolic Genes (Rokhlenko et al., WABI 2006; Bioinformatics 2007)
